Joyoshare Media Cutter

If you want to use a certain part of a video in your own project or upload it somewhere, you'd need a dedicated tool to cut that part out. With Joyoshare Media Cutter, you can extract one or more segments from a video or an audio track on the fly. Although it's nothing like an advanced editor, the application still has a wealth of special functions to offer, which make it quite reliable and convenient. Even if you don't have any media editing experience, this lightweight utility won't present any challenges.

Joyoshare Media Cutter is free to try, with some minor limitations. Its setup package is not large, so you can download it and install its components in under a minute. Furthermore, you don't need any additional tools or codecs to be able to run this application.

The user interface resembles a simple media player, on which you can load a video or audio track either through a browsing option or by just dragging and dropping the file. Besides the standard playback controls, you can also find a few tools for marking start and end positions in the media file's timeline. All you have to do is click and drag two markers on the start and end positions of the segment you want to cut and click a button.

It has to be mentioned that scrolling through the timeline, by clicking and dragging the seeker or the markers, feels quite smooth, especially if you have a good mouse. You can easily pin-point a specific spot in the timeline, with a margin of error of a few fractions of a second. Additionally, you can make your selection even more precise by specifying the start and end times in numbers, on the same interface, and you can also use counters to move forwards or backwards by increments of a fraction of a second.

Something that you will definitely appreciate is the fact that Joyoshare Media Cutter lets you cut more than one segment. Its interface can be expanded in its lower region, to reveal a segments list. Here you can add new segments, with a single click, after which you only need to mark a new segment in the media file's timeline. The segments in the list can be placed in a different order, but the best part is that you can decide to extract the segments as separate files or merge them into a single file.

Besides extracting one or more segments from a media file, the software can also convert them to a different format. What's more, it provides you with a wide range of conversion profiles, which can optimize videos for specific devices and players.

Thanks to its simple approach to media cutting and its smart selection of tools, there is nothing more you can really ask for when using Joyoshare Media Cutter.
